So, How Was Your Christmas?

We had such a fun Christmas Eve and Christmas with our families.
Christmas Eve was at the Winters and we had lots of goodies, Christmas movies going, dinner, the opening of everyone's Christmas Jammies, and a bonfire with sparklers (new tradition)

Christmas Day we woke up and showed the kids their presents and they played. ( Devon and I did an early gift exchange since he doesn't understand the concept of waiting until Christmas morning!) Then we went to have Breakfast with my family and do our gift exchange with them. The rest of Christmas day was spent with the Winters and ended with seeing Tron 3D at the Imax with the Haggartons. Lots of fun family activities but wouldn't have it any other way! We love reflecting on the birth of our savior and as I get older I come to see his hand in my life more and more and it helps me live Christmas every day.

 So much has come our way this year and all we can do is count our blessings because there are so many. I have some serious goal making to do. Other than losing at least 30 lbs, I have a bunch that will hopefully make me a better person but I know that the 3 people around me every day have already impacted me in a way I never expected! I feel so blessed. We hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

Weeds

These kids are growing like weeds. I smile all the day long when I am with them and tear up when I watch them sleep at night. Londyn turned 2 on the 9th and Maverick is 9 months old. We will start with my princess:

27lbs
dirty blond curly hair and gorgeous hazel eyes
She adores her little brother
Loves to sing her nursery/primary songs
Loves to eat spaghetti
Always wants to be read to
Loves to find mom's camera and be a Photographer Saying "OH CUTE!!!" After the flash goes off
Loves to call her parents Jenna/Jen and Denen(but switches off saying mom and dad too?!?!)
Loves to dress and undress herself
She loves when her dad tickles her and throws her in the air
Can tell me what she feels like eating and drinking at any given moment
Can tell us what hurts her for example: " Mom.... Owie tummy :("
Loves all animals especially cats and puppies
She knows her daddy loves her and won't say no so she goes to him when mom says no
Calls her brother bubba and loves to take care of him by asking him if he is ok when he fusses and hugging and kissing him all the live long day ( lets hope this lasts)
She loves to ask me if I say ouch "Mom are you ok?" or "It's ok Jenna!"
Loves playing with her friends and cousins and always has a smile on her face when she sees them
 Birthday morning seeing her presents! She got a princess table and 2 chairs from Mimi gma & gpa Haggarton), the Dora back pack that she picked out with mom and dad, and Beautiful jewelry a horse on a stick and a princess broom and dust pan from gma and gpa Winters. Such a spoiled princess.
 She picked out her glamorous outfit for the day
 I always make Devon and Londyn Omelettes for their birthday breakfast and I burnt hers :( She still devoured it though!
She had a great brithday and I can't believe she is 2 already. It feels like last week that we brought her home from the hospital only 7 lbs! 

Maverick is still our little Tank- He is 21lbs and 11 oz
He has 7 teeth- 4 on top and 3 on bottom
I say he is 22lbs because he is with clothes on and I carry him around with clothes on most of the time. You Would think I would be buff by now!
He can crawl on his hands and knees to get to whatever he wants
Is starting to bear walk randomly
Can pull himself up on anything he wants to
Is starting to be brave and take sideways steps while holding onto things
He wants to stand solo so bad that he tries to and lands smack down on his bum :(
He has a new bonk on his head or face every week from being a boy and trying new things
Has a smile for anyone and everyone he sees
Is a momma's boy but will let anyone hold him 
Loves to play with his dad and anticipates when he will be tickled
Can give kisses when we ask
Eats pretty much whatever we eat and loooooooves it all
Has a major panic attack when he sees me or some one else with food- He has to have it too!
Loves when his sister gives him her leftover snack in the car with out mom and dad knowing
Maverick is our sweet angel boy with lots of fat rolls of love!
